  • Dreaming about Pagebound...

    So last night I had a super vivid dream where I made a forum post on here sharing my thoughts on a popular book, and apparently my takes were so hot that I got dozens of downvotes and hundreds of comments arguing with me. I was trying to go about my day in the dream but ended up constantly on my phone replying to comments in an attempt to prove that I had reading comprehension skills 😭

    This got me wondering about any funny book-related dreams that y'all have had! Whether they involve being transported to a fictional world or arguing about your favourite series on the internet, please share them with me!

    Aidan (Aidan Trilogy #1)

    Angela Auten

    It's been ten years since he found his mother dead on the kitchen floor. Ten years and still the nightmares haunt him. At sixteen, Aidan is deep in the vortex of depression and anxiety. He's supposed to be enjoying his summer, meeting girls, trying to be a normal teen, but he's anything but. His mother was murdered and the killer never found. Interacting with his peers seems almost impossible. As the anniversary of his mother's death rolls around for another year, his dreams grow with intensity, leading him to unlock the truth about his mother's death. Suspicions begin to grow in his mind, pulling him away from the people he's supposed to trust and leading him to find comfort and strength in a new relationship. If you enjoy intriguing mysteries, relatable characters and the beauty of first love, then check out Aidan today.

    The cover gave me such high hopes, but the story failed to follow through. The main character is insufferable, ungrateful, and has zero brain cells. She's Navy, but is apparently perfectly comfortable with basically telling the captain and crew "I can and will do what I want." Even after finishing the book, I have absoljtely no idea what the main character looks like other than that she has curves (mentioned in the very first scene) and is covered in rune scars. It took way too long for me to figure out who the love interest was, and in my opinion, he was the wrong option. There wasn't even any chemistry between them other than the fact Renn "hates" him and she continuously fails to follow orders, making him angry. Honestly, the whole romance subplot felt like it was shoehorned in to make the book more appealing to a wider audience, especially considering almost all of it is contained to the last quarter of the book. The plot itself was confusing and I was left continuously wondering if I'd missed something because I would suddenly have no idea what was happening or why. The writing was so confusing with all the nautical and magical terms, a made up language, and silly substitutes for words that really didn't need replacing (it's impossible to take any character who curses with "fog" seriously).

    I really really wanted to like this book. I was so intrigued by a magical, nautical adventure, but instead, I wish I never even bothered. Kudos to the cover designer, you were the only reason I stayed until the end.

  • Looking for low or no spice adult books

    Anybody have any recommendations for good adult books that have little to no spice in them? I want to read more adult books. But, due to being a sex-repulsed asexual person, finding adult books with either no sexual content or very little sexual content has proven to be a difficult feat. I'm predominantly interested in fantasy at the moment, but I'm open to any and all genres. They just have to have either minimal sexual content or no sexual content at all. If anyone has any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it 🙂

  • Are you a ‘read to escape’ reader or a ‘read to feel’ reader?

    Personally, I read to escape the real world - I pretty much refuse to read anything too heavy or heartbreaking! I suffer with terrible anxiety and OCD, so reading silly or happy books helps me cope.

    Do you guys do the same or do you like books with heavy subjects?

    My secret is out. My parents came over to supervise me fixing the toilet supply line (aka I asked dad to come watch me fix it so I knew what the hell I was doing and also so he’d feed me lunch after) and mom saw my crafting and book room.

    “You have quite a few books!” She says and gestured to my two-level deep, stacked, and genre-organized shelves.

    “Yes,” I said, deliberately not telling her I have 400 more on my Kobo.

    How may physical books do you guys own? Do you selectively curate or just dragon hoard?
